December Newsletter     

Dear Parents,

You know that Old Man Winter will be upon us soon so if you have not had the opportunity to look at your profile on the Honeywell Instant Alert for Schools System, I would suggest that you do it.  All parents will receive a message on their home phone if we close for inclement weather or for any other emergency.  If you access your profile, and work through the steps, you will have the option of receiving messages by email, cell phone, and/or text messages. The Internet site for accessing your profile in the Honeywell Instant Alert for Schools System is https://instantalert.honeywell.com  Click on “Parent” in the New User box and that should get you started.  If you have a problem, please call the school and we will be happy to assist you.

This time of year is very special as we gather with family and friends for a variety of activities.  Parties, concerts, and travel plans all need to be scheduled on the calendar.  May I suggest that you try to prioritize what your family will and will not be able to do?  Though the days are shorter in December, we seem to try to pack much into a short amount of time.  Please help your children to stay well rested and focused on school this month.  You may also want to decide which events are most special to you and your family and eliminate those that cause you and your children to become “over-scheduled” and stressed out.

Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa, I would like to wish all of our Franklin School Families a wonderful and safe holiday season.                   

                                                                      Sincerely,

                                                                      Dr. Mary Ann Boyd
                                                                                  Principal
